Hello everyone!
I’m excited to announce that my latest 3D model is now officially released: The legendary French battleship Jean Bart.
This project was a labor of love, focusing on capturing the unique silhouette and massive detail of the last battleship ever commissioned in the world. Whether you are a naval history enthusiast or a 3D printing hobbyist, this model is designed to impress on your shelf.
The Model at a Glance
- Scale: 1:625 (Total length: approx. 396 mm).
- High Detail: From the signature quadruple 380mm turrets to the intricate radar arrays and bridge structures.
- 0.4mm Nozzle Optimized: I spent a lot of time ensuring that even the finest parts print reliably with a standard 0.4mm nozzle – no need for specialized equipment to get great results!
Historical Significance
The Jean Bart has a fascinating history, from her daring escape from Saint-Nazaire in 1940 to her role as the final evolution of the battleship era. My goal was to honor that legacy with a "True-to-Scale" representation.
Printing Tips for Best Results
To get the most out of this model, I recommend using the Arachne wall generator in your slicer. This ensures that the thin masts and railings are printed with maximum precision. A layer height of 0.08mm to 0.12mm is ideal for capturing the deck details.
Where to find it: The model is now available on MakerWorld. You can download it and see the full print specifications here:

Thank you all for your continued support! It’s your backing that allows me to spend the hours needed on these complex historical designs.
Happy printing!
